So, today, im working on a line, up a pole and its fucking tall and wobbly and im old and no likey climbing tall wobbly poles anymore. Some old duffer, walking stick in hand, hobbles towards me. He is as deaf as a post and he is saying something but I cant here too well coz im fucking miles up the pole or summat. He asks me if Im working on the lines because his line is out of service. I tell him I am and its his line im working on. Im irritated because he has reported the fucking fault and im the engineer FFS, do the maths you old twat. Soon Ive sorted the problem out then go into his house to be greeted by a nice old fella who is surrounded by walls full of the most beautiful water colour paintings created by his old and worn hands. I was invited back anytime to view more as he shook me warmly by the hand while thanking me profusely for getting his phone line/careline back in action. I must learn patience and I must learn not to judge. I must learn to breathe.

What country? Oh right, you mean ENGLAND!!! Thats another thing for Sturgeon to throw at us in her demand for a referendum!!!

Highly unpredictable, but fascinating. A very good d/p as it is quite different from others, but not overly complicated. I shall definitely play again, if categories are within my means.

Sara Hankins is dead by the looks of it: http://www.trimblefuneralhomes.com/m/obituaries/Sara-Hankins/

I like the tiebreak rule for unique hits.

Well, he can hear a little bit and he has a careline which, to him, is the lifeline or summat.

Perhaps he uses it for the internet. Netflix & chill.

Confused by lfns post re the old duffer who's deaf and a phone line... What's the fucking point?

No - on both counts

No

Two falls and a submission for Antonino Rocca 40 years ago, aged 49.

85 years since George Eastman took a snap decision, aged 77.

Lizzie and Phil's fight was written in to one of the episodes of "The Crown". Quite a good watch if you have got Netflix. I wonder if Lizzie was watching it when she was convalescing over Christmas and picking plot holes? She might be a little miffed that the actress playing her (although quite attractive) was not in the league of the actress playing Princess Margaret. But I guess that is true to life.

Could Leicester win the CL and get relegated?

We'll make a commie, pinko, liberal of you, yet.

Probs gonna jinx it but... Carlisle currently holding Luton 0-0 with about seven minutes to go If we manage this it'll be the first time in 29 games we haven't conceded and one point from the last 15 Still in the play-off places, mind

Well, YoungWillz linked the rules. Here are some potential changes to discuss: Wormfarmer wants a smaller point gap between ranks. If others support that too, I might change it to: 500, 450, 400, 350, 300, 275, 250, 225, 200, 180, 160, 140, 120, 100, 85, 70, 55, 50, 45, 40. Also, you get no extra points, but I might consider an extra, say, 20 points for a unique pick. Anybody care to share their opinions on this? I will post the scoreboard update tomorrow. And in early April, I will make a new thread for Round 2, and you can start submitting your teams.

Those are the experiences we all must have every now and then.

Jean Boht looked amazingly chirpy at Carla Lane's funeral, as did Nerys Hughes and Wendy Craig. It'd have to be an incredibly long list before they get on.

Jean Boht's not dead? You learn something every day.

Wrestler Arnold Skaaland died on this day 10 years ago, aged 82.

Clinton was impeached for lying to Congress, but he wasn't convicted, mostly because his party controlled the Senate and partly because only Republicans playing at religious government really gave a damn about his sex life. Personally, I think most of them were jealous.

Here's a couple, can't work out how to upload video on my phone though, it says it's the wrong type of attachment. I didn't take loads, too busy having fun!

Maybe Rob Ford ate the contents?
